States can require voters to produce photo identification, the Supreme Court ruled Monday, upholding a Republican-inspired law that Democrats say will keep some poor, older and minority voters from casting ballots.

This is wise, as poor people are generally less informed than wealthy people who actually follow politics and tend to vote Republican. At first, only property owning males were allowed to vote. Sometimes the old ways are the right ways. This is one of them.

The ruling means the ID requirement will be in effect for next week’s presidential primary in Indiana, where a significant number of new voters are expected to turn out for the Democratic contest between Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama.

Ha ha moonbats! Wouldn’t it be funny if no Democrats were eligible to vote? You bet it would!

Now liberals can’t just round up a bunch of so-called “new voters” with free crack, malt liquor and taco supremes. These “new voters” must actually be eligible to vote. That is, they must actually have valid id. Illegals, criminals and other traditional Democrat party voters need not apply.
